When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

Need A Windows Server Firewall? So Does

Need A Windows Server Firewall? So Does
Microsoft 03/19/2005 02:22 AM

An article from the Register by Mark Burnett of SecurityFocus has me thinking about Windows Servers. We all know that most hosting servers for websites and ftp servers are Linux-based servers. But Microsoft has been pushing their new Windows Server software as being better then Apache, the Linux server software of choice. This article says that there is no adequate firewall for Windows servers. Check it out and let us know if you think they missed something..

It seems like the solution would be simple enough. I have been patiently waiting for someone to come along with a capable, full-featured Windows firewall so I can stop explaining to everyone why the right way to go is probably Linux with iptables. But my wait has mostly been in vain. Every time I think I have found the ultimate Windows firewall solution, I end up being disappointed in one way or another… There are plenty of personal firewalls out there that work quite well for desktop computers, but they all fall short for server use. Some are obviously better than others, but all are plagued with common problems such as poor logging facilities, limited configuration capabilities, slow performance, and worst of all, many of them seem to be prone to blue screens when traffic gets very high.

A Microsoft Corp. executive last week cleared up what had been a murky Windows Server plan, affirming release dates of 2005 for a product update code-named R2 and 2007 for the next major software release, known as Longhorn. Bob Muglia, senior vice president of Microsoft's Windows Server division, said the company wants to be consistent with the product's release cycle. Plans call for a major release of Windows Server roughly every four years and an incremental update two to two and a half years after each major release, he said. Muglia earlier this year told Computerworld only that Longhorn would emerge no sooner than 2006.

Microsoft Windows Server plans for 2005

Microsoft Windows Server plans for 2005 12/24/2004 12:55 PM
Following the announcement that Microsoft lost the EU appeal against removing Windows Media Player from it's Windows XP operating system, what is Microsoft planning for 2005?

It's not yet clear whether work has begun on removing Windows Media Player from XP but if work is planned to start in the New Year then this could significantly delay Longhorn, again. Depending on how Microsoft chose to remove Windows Media Player they may need to recompile different sections of the operating system to ensure there is no shell integration of WMP whatsoever. Changing an operating system and ensuring it has hot fix compatibility may require an external beta test to OEMs and partners. It's a big job and one that will inevitably slow down Longhorn progress.

On a bright note 2005 is the year for Windows Server. Last week I sat down with Mark Tennant (Windows Server Product Manager). Although we joked about WinFS (which should be code-named Hokey Pokey) and I fumed about anywhere access being removed from R2; it still seems that the Windows Server team have a lot of things going on in 2005.

Perhaps most significantly in the first half of 2005 we'll see the first Service Pack released. Taking a lot of security improvements from XPSP2, it aims to deliver increased reliability, scalability, security and performance. According to Mark "From our internal tests we’re seeing 20% more users for ERP business applications, 50% more users per server for Terminal Services."

At around the same time we'll see the Windows Server x64 editions available. "Our approach here is to provide low-cost, high volume 64-bit computing with our partners to a broad segment of the market. Again we’re seeing some big performance improvements in some of the traditional windows workloads (Web Servers, File and Print, Terminal Services) as well as customers running their existing 32-bit apps on the x64 platform."

In the second half of 2005 the team will release Windows Server 2003 "R2" and Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition. "This will see us supporting high performance hardware and related industry standards such as MPI-2 and RDMA over Ethernet and Infiniband, as well as MPICH".

Windows Update Services is the highly anticipated and highly delayed replacement to SUS (Software Update Services). Currently SUS is lacking in terms of functionality but 2005 looks to be the year that WUS will finally make its debut in the first half.

Keep your browser firmly on Neowin.net for the latest Windows Server news in the new year. May I take this opportunity to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
